I spent my weekend down in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, watching my first ever “Bama” football game in person (ROLL TIDE!). It was a TON of fun, and quite cold…even for the South. Clearly, the weather is changing all over…and for those of us who love, and I mean LOVE being warm, it takes some time to […]

One of my fellow Zoot teammates posted a blog in February (which was Eating Disorder Awareness Month) about her battle with an eating disorder. She rocks. Her name is Ashley, and you can find her here…https://sandborntorun.wordpress.com/page/2/ Reading through her story inspired me to share mine. Why you might ask? Why not? It’s part of me, […]

A few weeks ago, I had the chance to talk with a group of athletes at Edge Athlete Lounge about Diaphragmatic Breathing. You might be wondering how this even came about?? Well, I met with one of the owners, Robyn LaLonde, to discuss a topic for me to come by and do an educational talk […]

I’ve been on all sides of Ironman…spectator, volunteer, 2 time athlete/finisher, and now 3 time girlfriend/Sherpa. Over the past 6 months I’ve been at 4 different Ironman events ALL over the world. I’m beyond lucky, I love that this is my life…love doesn’t even come close to describe what I’m trying to say. Each Ironman […]

Do you ever have people ask why you do Ironman, triathlons, or just train in general? Even better…how about the funny looks you get when someone asks what you’re doing over the weekend? Then there’s the 4am wake ups during the week to train before work…and then workouts after work. Oh, and you PAID how […]

For those of you who are not familiar with the law of attraction, allow me to explain. It’s actually quite simple…like attracts like, focusing on positive or negative thoughts will result in the same outcome… you get the point. This is something I firmly believe in. When I say that, I don’t mean if you […]

Love me some Dolvett Quince. If you don’t watch the Biggest Loser you will have NO idea what I’m talking about it. Google him, thank me later. If you live in the Midwest, specifically Chicago, you know we are dealing with a beast of a winter. It’s no joke. I can honestly say I ran […]
